Does not support standard Mongo connection string #126
Description
The standard Mongo connection-string is described here:
https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/connection-string/
However, if you pass a connection string to MONGO_URL of this format:
mongodb://user:pass@host:port,host:port/database?replicaSet=name
This will result in:
> [0] Error: double colon in host identifier
> [0] at module.exports (/usr/src/app/bundle/programs/server/npm/node_modules/meteor/npm-mongo/node_modules/mongodb/lib/url_parser.js:90:13)
> [0] at connect (/usr/src/app/bundle/programs/server/npm/node_modules/meteor/npm-mongo/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongo_client.js:486:16)

This refers to the host:port,host:port part of the above connection string
You can try this out by creating a mlab.com replica set and use the provided connecting-string. It will not work. As such this package currently does not work with mLab.
FYI:
the exact same connection string works fine with Meteor-up and Galaxy. I wanted to try this package out because I love Now.sh, but unfortunately I got stuck here.
